Royal blue shirts, white shorts and a fanbase that has stuck with its club through thick and thin: few colours in English football carry as much history as Everton's. If you are shopping for a Toffees fan this Christmas, this guide picks five retro-inspired gifts from our Everton range, with ideas for personalising them and tips to get your order right.
Why Everton Fans Love a Retro Design
Everton are one of the founding members of the Football League, and the royal blue home shirt has been part of English football for generations. Ask most Evertonians of a certain age about their favourite era, though, and the conversation usually ends up in the mid-1980s. That was the side that lifted the FA Cup in 1984, won the league title in 1985 and 1987, and brought a European trophy back to Merseyside in 1985. The kits from that period, simple royal blue with crisp white details, are still the ones fans picture when they think of the good times.
That is exactly why our Everton designs lean on those classic looks. Our 1984 Home Shirt and 1986 Home Shirt designs are a nod to the shirts of that golden spell, while our Christmas designs bring the same royal blue into the festive season. Every piece is printed to order in Yorkshire by our family-run team, and many can be personalised with a name and number.
5 Retro Everton Gifts for Christmas
1. Everton Christmas Stadium Luxury Fleece
Our Everton Christmas Stadium luxury fleece brings a snowy Christmas matchday scene into the living room. It measures a generous 150cm x 150cm, is printed edge to edge on ultra-plush 370gsm fleece, and is hand-sewn to finish. It is priced at £34.99 at the time of writing.
Perfect for: the Evertonian who watches every festive fixture from the same spot on the sofa.
Why it works: it is big enough for a bed or settee, and it keeps working as a picnic blanket in the summer.
Gift idea: wrap it up with a hot chocolate and a box of mince pies for a cosy Christmas Eve bundle.
2. Everton 1984 Home Shirt Santa Sack
Swap the plain old pillowcase for the Everton 1984 Home Shirt Santa sack. Inspired by the classic mid-80s home kit, it is made from a soft-touch suede-like material, printed and personalised on both sides, and measures around 53cm x 74cm with an elasticated top and a hanging string. It costs £12.99 at the time of writing.
Perfect for: young Toffees fans on Christmas Eve, and grown-up ones who still want a sack at the end of the bed.
Why it works: it comes out every December, so it becomes part of the family's Christmas tradition.
Personalisation idea: the child's name and the year they were born, so the sack becomes a keepsake.
3. Santa is an Everton Fan Christmas Stocking
Father Christmas has clearly picked a side. The Santa is an Everton Fan Christmas stocking shows Santa in royal blue instead of his usual red. At roughly 37cm x 58cm there is plenty of room for stocking fillers, and it is printed on both sides in a soft-touch suede-like material. It is £9.99 at the time of writing.
Perfect for: hanging over the fireplace in an Everton household, or as a first Christmas present for a new arrival.
Why it works: it is a fun, affordable way to bring the club's colours into the festive decorations.
Gift idea: pair it with the matching Santa is an Everton Fan snood for the Boxing Day game.
4. Everton 1986 Home Shirt Retro Cushion
For a gift that lives on the sofa all year round, the Everton 1986 Home Shirt retro cushion is a winner. It comes in two sizes, 45cm or 61cm square, with a removable faux suede cover, a zip closure and an inner made in-house. You can personalise it with initials, a number and a message or name on the back. Prices start at £17.99 at the time of writing.
Perfect for: Dad's armchair, a teenager's bedroom or the man cave.
Why it works: it is a nod to the 80s home kit without being something you have to wear.
Personalisation idea: his surname and 85 or 87, the years the league title came home.
5. Everton 1986 Home Shirt Personalised Coaster
Small but mighty, the Everton 1986 Home Shirt personalised coaster comes in a square or circle style at around 10cm, with a washable fabric top and neoprene base. It can be personalised with a name or message, and it is £5.99 at the time of writing.
Perfect for: Secret Santa, stocking fillers and the office desk.
Why it works: it is a cheap and cheerful way to show your colours every time you put the kettle on.
Gift idea: buy a few with different family names so everyone has their own at the table.
More Ideas From the Everton Range
Our Everton collection goes well beyond Christmas. You will also find aprons for the Christmas dinner chef, bar runners for the home bar, golf towels, bucket hats and luggage covers.

Tips for Personalising an Everton Gift
- Pick the right era. If they first went to the match in the 80s, the 1984 and 1986 home shirt designs are the obvious choice. Younger fans may prefer the Christmas or kit montage designs.
- Use a meaningful number. A birth year, a lucky number or the number they wore for their local team all work well.
- Think about the space. Cushions and fleeces suit a lounge or bedroom, while coasters and bar runners suit a home bar.
- Make a set. The Santa is an Everton Fan range includes a stocking, Santa sack, snood, apron and fleece, so it is easy to build a themed bundle.
- Spread the cost. Klarna and Clearpay are available at checkout.
Things to Consider
- Not every item is personalised. Some designs, such as the Christmas stocking, are printed with a set design. Check the product page to see what can be added.
- Check spelling. Names are printed exactly as you type them, so double-check before you order.
- No emojis. Our personalisation software does not support them.
- Choose sizes carefully. The cushion comes in two sizes, so think about where it will go.
- Allow time. Everything is made to order in Yorkshire, so leave time for production and check the delivery information on our website for current Christmas timings.
- Family loyalties. Merseyside households are not always one colour. If you are buying for a house divided, our retro Liverpool gifts guide has the other half covered.
